The Georgia Bulldogs and the Tennessee Volunteers face off on Saturday in week 5 SEC college football action on CBS.

The Georgia Bulldogs 3 game winning streak to start the season came to an abrupt halt on Saturday as they were handled by Ole Miss on the road. The Georgia offense is averaging 25.2 points, 196.8 rushing yards, and 216.2 passing yards per game and they have turned the ball over 7 times. UGA QB Jacob Eason has completed 52 percent of his passes with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Nick Chubb is the Bulldogs top option in the backfield with 422 yards and 3 touchdowns but he left last week’s game and Sony Michel took over while Isiaiah McKenzie is the top receiver with 21 catches and 4 touchdowns and Terry Godwin has 12 catches. Defensively Georgia is allowing 30 points and 383 yards per game with 6 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries, and 4 sacks. Natrez Patrick is the Dawgs top tackler with 24, Trenton Thompson has 20 tackles, and Roquan Smith has 17 tackles. Georgia will need to bounce back in a hurry from last week’s disastrous performance where they were simply out of the game in the first few minutes.
